As Pitchfork points out, the Lotus F1 team announced in March that it would be partnering with Columbia Records, Daft Punk's label. News of the Daft Punk-branded racecar, which prominently features the band's name on its cockpit, came out earlier this week, fresh on the heels of the release of Random Access Memories. A series of cryptic videos featuring Daft Punk in their helmets along with the car appeared on the YouTube page of the Lotus F1 Team. One particularly slick clip was made by music video director Jonas Åkerlund.
